A Beautiful Mess Happy Mail | July 2015

Saturday, 25 July 2015

Happy Saturday! The end of the month is always my favourite because my Happy Mail arrives! Happy Mail is a monthly stationary subscription service that was launched back in November by sisters Elsie and Emma, the masterminds behind the blog and brand A Beautiful Mess. Each month Happy Mail subscribers receive $50+ dollars worth of stationary for only $15 a month! If you have commitment issues and want to subscribe for 6 months, or on a monthly basis you can do that too, but the price is adjusted accordingly. If you are located in the United States shipping is included in the cost, but they will ship Happy Mail worldwide for just an additional $2.00!

6 of the 8 cards in this month's Happy Mail are flat cards, which aren't my favourite - but the designs make up for it. The cards include a word search card that allows you to circle words for the purpose of the card - so cute! Two square flat cards - a bright yellow one with a giraffe and dinosaur with the hashtag #soulmates, and a red card with a record player that says "You spin me right round baby." The last 3 cards are fairly plain - a simple ombre "Happy Birthday To You" card, a graphic "Keepin' It Real" card and a "I love you Berry Much" strawberry and blue foil card.

The 2 folded cards this month were a Wedding card with Swans on it that says "You're Married" on the outside, and "This is Swanderful. Congratulations!" on the inside - so cute and punny, and another funny card that says "There's more to life than being really, really, really, ridiculously good looking," in colourful letters on the outside, and "But you're handling it just fine" on the inside! The post card this month was super cute, as it has a taco on it and says "Let's Taco 'Bout It" - I love all the puns this month!

This month included a few extra special items which was fun! A larger fuchsia pink print with "Whatever Makes You Weird, Is probably your greatest asset" in blue foil, and a smaller baby pink print that says "Don't Quit Your Day Dream" - so motivational! We also received an extra special envelope - baby pink with scribbles on it, a pencil that says "hiya toots" and two sheets of stickers - succulent circles to seal off envelopes and some neon coral alphabet stickers.

As always, I am super happy with my Happy Mail subscription - the cards are super creative, are an excellent quality, and you just can't beat the price! It comes down to around $1.50/card + the stickers and prints are an extra bonus! These ABM cards definitely give you a run for your money, as you'll never find cards as cute as these at the dollar store. My stationary stock pile is quickly growing, and everyone seems to be loving these cute and clever cards! Thank you soo much Elsie and Emma for bringing thoughtful back!
